Error description

  • When tracing the MQ JCA Resource Adapter in a WebSphere
    Application Server (WSAS) V9 environment where the trace
    specification, which has been configured from startup, has been
    specified as:
    
    *=finer:jmsApi=all:Messaging=all:com.ibm.mq.*=all:JMSApi=all:com
    .ibm.ws.cdi.jms*=all
    
    a java.lang.ConcurrentModificationException is thrown when an
    attempt is made to bind a JMS Destination object (Queue or
    Topic) into JNDI.

Local fix

  • Do not use *=finer in the log and trace level settings in
    WebSphere Application Server.
    
    Change the their log and trace level from using the option:
    
      *=finer
    
    to:
    
      *=info
    
    and then restart the server.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    This issue affects users of the MQ messaging provider within
    WebSphere Application Server who:
    
      - have enabled Java Message Service (JMS) diagnostics trace
    
    and
    
      - specified the logging detail level as "*=finer".
    
    For example:
    
    
    *=finer:jmsApi=all:Messaging=all:com.ibm.mq.*=all:JMSApi=all:com
    .ibm.ws.cdi.jms*=all
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    While binding a JMS Destination object into JNDI, an instance of
    the object is created from the saved configuration properties.
     As part of this, an Iterator is created from an Map instance
    and used to set some cache values from commonly used
    configuration properties.
    
    When using the WebSphere Application Server "finer" logging
    detail level, as opposed to default "info", toString() was
    called on an internal WMQDestination object by the tracing
    mechanism while the Iterator was being used.  The toString()
    call resulted in all of the cached properties being written back
    to the Map.  The result was that the Map was structurally
    modified while the same thread was iterating over it.  As such,
    when the thread call next() on the Iterator it had created from
    the Map, the JVM threw a
    java.lang.ConcurrentModificationException.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ classes for JMS code has been updated to create an
    Iterator from a copy of the properties Map that is used when
    initialising the cached properties.
